I wanted to love this book because I have great respect for him as both an actor and a philanthropist. While some of his anecdotes stand out in my mind, this book simply didn't connect many of the major themes well and it was chronologically confusing. I skimmed or skipped pages in the 'politics' and 'faith' sections because they were repetitive and boring. It was a very eye-opening book about the challenges of Parkinson's and his fundraising efforts, but overall, it's not a book I would recommend or read again.
